Barclays and Clydesdale have made more mortgage rate reductions, with changes set to go live at the end of the week.

Barclays has made reductions of up to 0.5% across its mortgage rates.

Across its purchase-only products for new borrowers, the two-year fix with a £899 fee at 85% loan to value (LTV) has been cut from 4.46% to 4.4%. 

A fee-free five-year fix at 75% LTV has gone from 4.05% to 3.96%, while a five-year fix at 85% LTV with a £899 fee has been cut from 4.17% to 4.1%. 

Barclays has also made reductions to select remortgage deals for new borrowers at 60% and 75% LTV. 

For existing borrowers, rates have been cut across the bank’s residential purchase, remortgage and reward deals applying to two- and five-year fixes as well as green deals.

This includes the two-year fixed purchase-only premier product at 60% LTV with a £899 fee, which has been reduced from 3.96% to 3.87%, and the equivalent standard mortgage, which is now 3.9%, down from 3.99%. 

The fee-free option at this tier has a rate of 4.19%, down from 4.35%. 

Across higher-LTV tiers, Barclays lowered the rate of its two-year fixed fee-free product at 90% LTV from 5.13% to 4.95% and the premier option with a £899 fee from 4.85% to 4.75%. 

Some of the lower rates include the premier five-year fixed remortgage-only deal, at 60% LTV with a £999 fee, and an equivalent reward product. Both have been reduced from 3.88% to 3.8%. 

These reductions follow rate cuts made by Barclays last week.

Clydesdale Bank also announced cuts, including reductions to its two- and five-year fixed core residential products. 

These have been lowered by as much as 0.25% and now start at 3.89%. 

Across its exclusive deals, the product transfer at 65% LTV and fixed for two years has been reduced by 0.02%, while select two- and five-year fixed remortgages have been cut by up to 0.14% to start from 4.04%. 

These products have a free valuation for properties valued up to £3m and free basic legals up to £2m. 

Clydesdale Bank’s exclusive two- and five-year purchase rates have been lowered by as much as 0.15% to start from 4.09%. 

These products will come with a free valuation for properties valued up to £3m. 

Additionally, select large loan two- and five-year fixed rates will be reduced by up to 0.23%. 

Rates have been cut by as much as 0.25% across select two- and five-year fixed professional products, and up to 0.71% across select two- and five-year fixed buy-to-let (BTL) options. 

The lender has also increased select five-year fixed rates for professional deals by as much as 0.06%. 

Additionally, it has pulled its exclusive five-year fixed remortgage at 65% LTV, and deals in this range will no longer offer £500 cashback. 

These changes come in on 11 October.
